4 Intonation in thanks/responses
We usually say thank you and reply to thank you with intonation going down at the end \\rhen somebody says 'Thank you' for doing something,
we sometimes reply, 'It s a pleasure', or'My pleasure.' Some other responses
to thanks are: 'You're welcome', 'That's all right,' 'That's OK.'
c+r Practise ways of saying thank you and responses to thanks with intonation going down on the last strong stress First listen and repeat the possible
responses.
It's a pleasure.
That's all right.
EXAMPLE A: Thank you for lending me your television
